Honestly the bias pervading this site is disgusting. KYM posts article after biased article and everyone just eats it up. Feminists are literally nazi SJW misandrists who don’t know what they’re talking about, and everyone who disagrees is downvoted to oblivion and greeted the same 10 “lmao get a load of this guy amirite XD” reaction images. I don’t even have an opinion on the majority of topics being discussed, but I just can’t stand the endless, mindless circlejerking. Everyone here loves to talk about how Reddit is a humongous circlejerk, but compared to this place Reddit is a fucking bastion of open mindedness.

(She has also written about our experiences, and I have often felt very close to her in our views on life/fiction.) "
